Mysterious Journey

Chapter 952 Ignorance and Paramecium

"…Oops, I got a little carried away."

The next morning, Cho Chang rubbed her aching temples and couldn't stop yawning.

Opening her eyes, she saw unfamiliar black and yellow curtains. As her memories reconnected, she quickly realized where she was.

Cho Chang quietly crawled out of her light blue velvet sleeping bag and sat up, supporting herself with her arms.

The Hufflepuff common room, that luxurious room belonging to Elena and Hannah - after the party last night, they had moved the party here with snacks and drinks, and under Elena's seduction, they had played "Werewolf" almost all night, until four or five in the morning before they gradually fell asleep one by one.

In the center of the soft, Transfigured bed, Hannah, Luna, Irina, Hermione, and Danilova were still sleeping soundly.

In the sleeping bag on the carpet beside her, Ginny was still curled up in her gold and red velvet sleeping bag, and next to her were a pair of Slytherin sisters who somehow ended up here last night: second-year Daphne Greengrass and her newly admitted sister, Astoria Greengrass.

However, the witch who had played the latest and had the most fun seemed to have woken up very early... or perhaps, she hadn't slept at all?

Noticing Cho Chang's movement as she woke up, Elena turned her head and gently put her finger to her lips.

At this moment, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, trying to comb her hair, trying to press down the cowlick so that it wouldn't sway left and right rebelliously - because of this traitorous little hair, her game experience of Werewolf last night could be described as extremely terrible, and in the end, she could only sullenly serve as "God."

"Yawn - what time is it now -"

Cho Chang looked around the room, searching for underwear, socks, and shoes, and asked silently with her lips.

Clothes, socks, and shoes were all thrown around messily, so that Cho Chang had to light her wand to carefully distinguish them on the carpet.

It must be said that Werewolf, this "adult game", is really too addictive.

The only drawback is that the punishment is a bit embarrassing, no wonder they had never heard of this interesting game before.

The losing side either had to take off three pieces of clothing, or let the winner draw on their face - undoubtedly, when everyone is a cute girl, with a certain unscrupulous little witch taking the lead in making a choice, the subsequent imitative behavior is naturally a matter of course.

Hmm, time?

Elena pulled out her wand, preparing to use Accio to find the alarm clock from the messy pile of clothes.

Gu ha ha ha ha -

On the owl stand not far away, a high-pitched and sharp cry of a round-faced plump chicken suddenly sounded.

The little emergency ration flapped its wings vigorously and began to circle in the room, emitting a series of cheerful cries, starting its daily routine of "alarm clock service". It concentrated on constantly changing its trajectory, ready to avoid any incoming pillows.

Perhaps the little master's friends' morning grumpiness is terrible, but compared to their gentle reprimand after being late, that's nothing.

"Oh, half past seven. Today is Monday."

Elena glanced at the emergency ration and answered casually, putting down her wand and continuing to deal with that rebellious cowlick.

Ever since they were collectively late for a few rounds, the morning alarm clock has been converted from mechanical to biological intelligence. The round-faced plump chicken racial talent of the emergency ration allows it to be accurate to the second in terms of time, and its flight broadcast can avoid becoming the next scrapped alarm clock.

Accompanied by the emergency ration's cry, the girls in the room woke up one after another.

After a brief daze, they began to put on clothes and pack in a panic - today is Monday, and everyone has a whole day of classes.

"Oh no, oh no, all my textbooks are in the dormitory..."

Ginny jumped off the bed in a fluster, anxiously starting to spin around in the room, looking for her socks and shoes.

Unlike the few friends in Slytherin, Gryffindor, where she is located, can be said to be the farthest from Hufflepuff. Counting the round-trip time, even if she rushes out now, she may barely pack her things, as for breakfast, she probably won't be able to eat it.

"Okay, don't worry, Elena has textbooks for all grades at Hogwarts."

Before she could rush out the door with her clothes, Hermione shook her head amusedly and comforted her softly.

"Go wash up first, and you can choose a few to use as emergency later - half an hour, if we pack up quickly, we should be able to catch the breakfast opening later. Well, Qiu, and you guys too, don't worry, Elena has high-grade textbooks here, as for the quantity..."

Hermione turned her head, looked at the white-haired dumpling sitting in front of the mirror, and continued confidently.

"Two extra sets for second grade, one set for third grade, and two sets for first grade should be enough. Elena, you'll figure it out, right?"

"Yeah, no need to be so troublesome... I notified the house elves last night."

Elena glanced at Hermione, who looked like the owner of the room, shrugged her shoulders, and pointed to the desk on the side of the room.

"Textbooks, schoolbags, and stationery that will be used today, all of these have been transported here, and everyone's name is marked separately, remember to bring them when you leave later. Therefore, you can rest assured to wash and pack up, there is also a pot of diluted special refreshing potion on the table. If you feel sleepy, drink a cup before leaving, the effect can last at least until noon break - don't worry, this one won't emit steam after drinking it."

Hogwarts' potions products have gradually begun to be developed.

After more than a year of careful preparation, she can now be said to have the strongest potion research and development team in the entire magical world.

In addition to the three top potion masters in the school, the Magical Medical Hospital in Salzburg has also collected a group of top therapists, as well as a small number of trustworthy Muggle medical staff, not to mention that former Soviet biological and chemical experts are constantly supplementing theoretical knowledge.

Perhaps the changes in the basic field will not be as disruptive as Transfiguration, but the changes in output are the most intuitive.

The "Refreshing Potion · Modified" on the table now is just a semi-finished product.

In the goal of Elena and others, the ultimate finished product is to purify and refine "Refreshing Granules" that can be prepared at any time and are easy to store. This kind of potion that is difficult to preserve and cannot cope with complex real needs is temporarily only an unfinished intermediate product.

On the other hand, the school has not yet reached a unified opinion on whether to popularize this kind of potion that can extend study time among students.

…………

At the same time, in the bathroom.

The girls who got up one after another washed and packed up their messy hair side by side.

The fact proves that gossip knows no age and no academy.

Ginny combed her hair and excitedly continued the night talk topics that she hadn't finished last night.

"Hey, you say, with this progress, how long will it take for Cedric to hold back and take the initiative to confess to Cho?"

"He won't confess actively, will he..."

Cho Chang's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly with some embarrassment.

As the oldest of the girls, the gossip about her and Cedric has long been everyone's favorite topic to tease her with. After all, from all angles, if there are no accidents, she is likely to be the one among everyone present who will be the fastest to get out of singleness.

"Oh my god, Cho, you're not planning to chase Diggory, are you?"

Ginny blinked her eyes and asked with some surprise, with an incredulous look on her face.

Although in Hogwarts, it is not common for girls to chase boys, considering the excellence of Cedric Diggory, the probability of this happening is obviously quite high - that big fool seems to have a good reputation in the girls' dormitories of various academies.

Thinking of this, Miss Weasley put down her comb and said earnestly, imitating her mother's tone.

"Cho, girls must not take the initiative in matters of love and confession, you must restrain yourself in the future."

"There's no such thing, I just think..."

Cho Chang blushed and muttered, carefully adjusting the position of some hairpins, "I just..."

However, she didn't seem to be able to say the specific reason either.

Cho Chang paused awkwardly, glared at Ginny, who was laughing strangely next to her, and quickly counterattacked.

"What about you? Ginny, weren't you very admiring of the 'Boy Who Lived' before? Why didn't you do anything last night?"

"Admiration is admiration, it doesn't mean I want to date him, and..."

Ginny looked down at her flat little body and sighed with some melancholy.

"Cho, haven't you noticed? Yesterday, Harry's eyes were almost glued to you, I don't want to make a fool of myself - anyway, I won't consider dating for the time being, let's talk about it in a few years, now I'd better study hard."

"Yeah, I think so too. My dad said that most boys like plump, tall girls."

Irina nodded in agreement, looking at Cho Chang enviously. A fourteen-year-old girl is simply overwhelming compared to an eleven-year-old.

"You haven't noticed the way those boys look at Miss Streep, it's like they've been enchanted, even if they pass by normally, they can drag their heads back, I don't want to act as a poor background board at this time."

"Well, actually, I don't think it's completely right..."

Hannah said sullenly, gently supporting her two big troubles.

"Since the beginning of school, I haven't received a single love letter, Luna has received several chocolate envelopes recently, and Elena is even more needless to say, the chocolate she received last Christmas was stacked even higher than Hagrid."

"That's because others are afraid of being smashed into the ground, and Luna's are for prayer."

Hermione pointed out sharply, but her expression was still a little indignant.

Those guys don't know where they found out that Luna has good luck. Before every exam, confession... or doing something else, they occasionally secretly send Luna some small gifts, as if this can increase their success rate, it's too outrageous!

Of course, she is definitely not envious of Luna's tribute small gifts, absolutely not!

"But speaking of it, I feel like Draco is paying extra attention to you, Ginny... well, and Irina too."

Luna said vaguely, as if she hadn't woken up yet, pulling the topic back to the previous link.

"You missed one," Cho Chang winked and said with a smile, "Elena."

"Tch, what do twelve-year-old little boys know -"

Just then, Elena's voice came from outside the bathroom door.

The body perception of a Veela hybrid is much stronger than that of ordinary wizards. She had been eavesdropping outside the door since just now. Who knew that these girls would actually pull her into the water as they chatted? As a result, she had to interrupt. This kind of situation where she was eating melon seeds and ended up eating herself had to be stopped in time.

"They're just afraid of getting beaten and want to copy homework... that's called the law of the jungle, it's not the same as the way Harry looks at you."

"B-but, Malfoy's students' grades are very good, and he often tutors us first-year students in the common room..."

In the corner by the bathroom mirror, Astoria Greengrass said timidly.

Compared to other upperclassmen in Slytherin, Draco Malfoy can be said to be the most special one.

On the one hand, he is not as high-profile and flamboyant as other students, and on the other hand, he is quite reliable and patient. Moreover, whenever upperclassmen want to bully them, Malfoy often appears on the scene just right, helping them get rid of trouble together with the shadow prefect, Irina.

However, most of the time, people usually only see Irina's brilliance as the shadow prefect.

"Wait, sister, you don't like Malfoy, do you?"

Daphne tied her ponytail, straightened her hood, and pinched Astoria's butt casually, teasing her with a smile.

"H-how is that possible! It's Irina and Ginny."

Astoria's face flushed instantly, and she began to gargle and wash her face.

Compared to those dazzling friends, she is really too inconspicuous. Even last night's party was fortunate enough to be invited to Miss Casslana's exclusive bedroom thanks to her sister. Astoria has known the difference between reality and ideals since she was a child.

However, because she is not very familiar with everyone yet, the surrounding girls did not notice her subtle change in expression.

"I won't fall in love anyway, I have too many things to learn and do at Hogwarts -"

Irina shook her head, picked up a towel and wiped the water off her face, and said calmly.

As the "trainee adjutant" of the Hyperion, she knows very well what her future responsibilities are, and she has no energy to waste on falling in love.

Moreover, the reason why Draco Malfoy pays attention to her is not because of any goodwill, it is just Elena's mission. If Irina did not misunderstand, Malfoy and she should be in a competitive relationship - there is only one alternate captain of the Hyperion, but it is not necessarily her.

And only by becoming a pivotal adjutant under Miss Casslana can she have the opportunity to completely overturn the case for her grandfather.

"Dani, do you have a boy you like?" Luna asked curiously, looking at her.

"Not yet, they're all too stupid, sometimes they feel like paramecium, it's difficult to communicate -"

Danilova said with some disgust. Although it sounded a bit arrogant, it was inexplicably fitting and natural when she said it.

After all, she is a "sci-tech second generation," and also a "sci-tech second generation" from a former Soviet mathematical family. All the little witches present have experienced the horror of advanced mathematics. Apart from her and Hermione, Hogwarts can't find a third child who can finish their math homework with a smile.

A certain white-haired dumpling can also finish it, but she is more accustomed to cheating directly with magic or finding a gunner.
